Rhone General Council Backs Celibacy Tax Plan
The Rhone General Council adopts a resolution proposing a 25 percent tax on bachelors to fund support for abandoned children. Supporters argue celibacy undermines state needs while critics label the plan extreme and impractical. The measure targets public officials and military men among bachelors, aiming to boost department funds and provoke matrimonial incentives in Lyons and surrounding areas.
